Handles well, but was a bit rough on bumpy roads, likely due to the low profile tires.

Comfortable for a long drive, plenty of room in the front and adequate room in the back.

Interior design is very clean, very Swedish, with just about the most comfortable seats you'll sit in -- car or not.

Comes with all the amenities -- almost. We noticed the absence of a rear camera and the blind spot detector, both of which we recommend.

It is noticeable but not showy. It's a bit under the radar -- you can have a really nice car, without being ostentatious.

Neither a rear camera nor blind spot detector are standard -- an omission for a safety-minded company like Volvo. The rear camera is available on the higher-end S60 T5 packages, and Volvos “BLISS” blind spot monitoring system is available as an option at any trim level. We’d recommend both.

Mileage is mediocre -- 23 MPG average (EPA: 20/29/23 city/highway/mixed) which is not particularly impressive these days.

After manufacturer's warranty of four years, expect to pay premium prices to maintain and repair the S60. Consider the extended warranty, if you intend to keep this car for a while.
